This study presents the development of a biodegradable surfactant developed using principles of environmentally friendly chemistry from natural sources. The goal is to develop an effective and environmentally friendly surfactant that can emulsify and disperse oil to reduce its effects on marine environments.
This study ascertains the capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the reuse of existing facilities, specifically regarding a carbon capture and storage project being prepared in South Korea.
GeoMap Europe is the latest in a series of interactive global geothermal maps that combine large subsurface and surface data sets to highlight where geothermal resources and development opportunities are strongest for power, heat, cooling, and storage.

Definition and call for participation in the 11th Society of Petroleum Engineers Comparative Solution Project, which is motivated by the immense challenge of achieving geological carbon storage at a scale that impacts significantly atmospheric emission of carbon dioxide. -
The plant is designed for a capture capacity of up to 36,000 tons of CO₂ per year once in full swing by filtering CO₂ from the air and storing it permanently underground. The company is also developing multiple megaton hubs in the US.

Companies are rushing to inject carbon into Louisiana’s ground, but will thousands of abandoned wells allow it to escape?
-
The revisions to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program aim to bring greater transparency and accountability for methane emissions from oil and natural gas facilities.

Offshore Energies UK and Xodus are launching an offshore nesting bird census to get a better understanding of how the animals use oil and gas structures in an effort to protect them.

The volume reduction of naturally occurring radioactive material waste with indirectly heated vacuum distillation has been overlooked in research as a viable treatment option. This paper describes several key assessment factors that will allow a more detailed understanding of the benefits of that option.

SponsoredThe oil and gas industry makes up 40% of all anthropogenic methane emissions because of leaks at the wellsite. Fortunately, the well pad is often where methane emissions are easiest to address through a mitigation strategy of optimized maintenance and process control—all enabled by instrumentation insight.
-
Heightened focus on methane emissions management spurs a new conceptual framework to aid in determining the duration of detected methane emissions, data that may be useful to stakeholders responsible for measurement-informed emission protocols.
-
The geothermal company will use organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology, which does not require steam to generate electricity.

To meet the objective of balancing economic prosperity, energy security, and environmental protection, a natural gas gasification process within a downhole completion tool is proposed that converts methane wells into hydrogen production wells, while simultaneously capturing the process-generated carbon downhole and reinjecting the carbon dioxide into the surrounding g…
